Learning Quote by Guideposts
““Whereas for me it is the very unreasonableness of God that allows me to believe. Because I cannot understand, count me in. If God was reasonable, logical, sensible, God would be within reach of my limited human understanding. Because God is a verb, a mystery, a force, an energy, a Something far beyond even my wildest imagination, therefore I believe. I am with you.””
